Democracy Dialogue is a resource for global citizenship education in times of youth precarity and struggles for democratic change. It showcases memes & videos from zeitgeist thinkers and features media from an historic encounter between Mohamed ElBaradei and Rajmohan Gandhi after Egypt's January 25th, 2011 revolution.

CRITICAL CITIZENSHIP IN CRITICAL TIMES

DEMOCRACY DIALOGUE (DD) - an education resource about the meaning and practice of critical citizenship in critical times of uprisings, mass migrations, precarity, and struggles for democratic change. DD was initially launched to share media from an historic encounter after Egypt's January 25 Revolution between Gandhi's grandson Rajmohan Gandhi and Mohamed ElBaradei. DD also features zeitgeist figures from the 20th and 21st centuries involved with issues of social justice and political change. The hope is that the resources here can inform study groups, serve as material for courses, and offer ideas to independent learners of all ages involved in struggles for democratic change. SeeABOUT
